would break. This unusual show of
affection on the part of his wife gave
rise to no feeling of diStrust in the mind
of Mr.. Henry. That night she was in
the arms of her paramour. He
says he never liked Seymour, but
always treated him with the.
utmost courtesy, and on the day he left,
at the request of the betrayer of his
wife, published an advertisement of
lecture that he was to deliver in the
Methodist church the following Friday
evening. He never had thought that
Seymour was sincere, but, despite the
gossip of neighbors, refused to mistrust
his wife, and made no objection to her
giving Seymour music lessons. He had
heard rumorS connecting Seymour with
other women in the town, but he had
supposed his wife beyond reproach. He
never knew that Seymour had made
improper advances toward ladies in his
church and they had given him the cold
shoulder, and still continued his visits
to his home. Seymour would go so far
as to make Mrs. Henry believe that
her husband should sell out his business

plead with her husband to take this
step, and he firmly refused. He had
noticed that Seymour had had power
full influence over his wife ever since
her conversion last winter, but never
miStruSted that he would take such a
terrible advantage of her. During the
conversation Mr.. Henry said if Sey-
mour ever crossed his path again he
would make short work of him. He
said two years ago there had been
rumorS afioat regarding the character of
his wife, but she had explained every.

Henry arrived his wife sent for him,
and there was an affecting scene. She
was anxious for a reconciliation at once,
but Henry said he would not think of it
until he was satisfied that she had no
sympathy for Seymour. She told him
that she hadn't heard from him since
they left New York, and didn't know
where he was and intimated that she
never wanted to see him again. The
parents and brother of Mrs. Henry
coupled their pleadings with hers in be-
half of a reconciliation, but Henry
wouldu give them no satisfaction and
it is very doubtful if he ever takes her
to his home again. 1.-THE children are
what l think Of he said to a GLOBE
reporter. ''If it were not for them /
would never think of looking on her as
my wife again, but they cling to her as
though. her life was theirs.a
Mr. .Henry's story of how they traced
the runaways to Europe and back is in
teresting as told in detail, and he saws
he is under great obligations to E. A.
Johnson, of Chicago; j. w. Thompson,
manager of the Cunard line, Liverpool;
I. II. Puckey, proprietor of the Cornish
house, Liverpool, and the conductors
and .brakemen of the Chicago 81 North
western road, all of whom assisted him
in running the recreants down. Mrs.
Seymour must possess very faithless
memory or she twists up her statements
in most wonderful manner wilfuIly.
While she denied to the GLOBE reporter
that Seymour had seduced fourteen
year-old girl in Bradford. Stark county.

that he had. In addition to
this, she says Seymour left her once
before with a Mrs. Muntz, of Carlyle,
Ill, and was driven out of that towfr bv

that since Seymour came to Janesville
